Natalie POV
Bella was still asleep when I saw a yellow Porsche pull up in front of the house. There was a short black haired girl and a tall blonde. She must have been Rosalie, Bells had always compared me to her when we first met. I opened the door before they could ring the doorbell. The small pixie one was bouncing up and down, while the blonde just looked at me.
"Hi, I'm Natalie." I said as the little pixie pulled me into a hug. I was a little shocked but glad all the same. Rosalie smiled, I could see what Bella meant by a cold hearted bitch. I wonder what her problem was. There was something missing from her too. That was my power, I could tell when something was wrong with a person, or creature physically. I could also figure out what it was after touching their head, but I doubted that Rosalie would let me get that close. "Bella is still asleep, I can wake her up if you'd like."
"No, let her sleep she doesn't need to be woken up." Rosalie answered in a musical voice. "Natalie can we talk to you; for a little bit before Bella wakes up?" Rosalie asked.
"Um, of course, come sit in the living room." They followed me into the house. Taking a seat on the black leather couch that was in the corner of the room. The pixie continued bouncing up and down on the couch.
"Natalie, we know you are a vampire. But what I don't get is why you are with Bella?" Rosalie said. She looked a little more alive maybe she had actually cared for Bella.
"Well I needed a friend and when I met Bella, three years ago she latched on and didn't let go. She writes books now, and she can't do anything else, I mean physically, that's why she said no to shopping."
"What's wrong with her?" Alice said she stopped bouncing in her seat.
"That is really something that you need to hear from her." I got up and ran to her room. "Bella, Bells, you need to wake up, honey Alice is here." Her eyes opened slowly and she looked up at me. It took her a minute to come to her senses before I helped her out into the living room.
ALICE'S POV
As Natalie appeared again she was not alone. Bella was there. Her hair was short, it was chin length and she looked dead. She was in a wheelchair and when I saw that my jaw dropped. Her skin had become very shallow, her skin was almost completely translucent.
I took a deep breath and asked "Bella what happened?"
She looked at me she had on a huge smile on that reflected both mine and Rosalie's. "Alice" she looked up at me with her dead brown eyes. "Alice I was diagnosed with cancer, more specifically Osteosarcoma. Edward was right, I am just a human and I will die, the human way." I saw her visibly wince when she said his name.
If it were possible for me to cry I would be. Rosalie wrapped her arms around me as the vision that had brought us here, was suddenly going to come true.
I had seen a vision as Rose and I had headed out on a shopping spree. I saw a sign that had told me exactly where Bella was. We diverted our journey here. I stood up and walked over to Bella, I wrapped my arms around her frail form as she latched on and cried. Rosalie even got up and came over to hug Bella. I excused myself for a moment as I ran out of hearing distance. I ran three blocks away and called a number that I knew by heart, one that I had called so many times without an answer. I got lucky this time.
"What Alice!?" he hissed.
"Edward I know you told us to leave Bella alone, but I had a vision that changed everything."
"Alice! I told you to let her live her life, as a human without vampires!" he hissed again.
"Edward, she is living with a vampire! Will you let me tell you what happened!?"
"Alice fine."
"Edward I had a vision of her grave. She is going to die in less than three months." A dry sob broke out at the end. There was no reply on the other end of the phone. "Edward?"
"Alice? Where are you?"
"Edward I'm in Boston with Rosalie. Bella has cancer, she doesn't look to good." The line went dead.
I headed back to Bella's house.
ROSALIE'S POV
I knew that I had always been a cold hearted bitch towards Bella, but I regret that. I miss Edward and I missed her. I knew life wouldn't be the same if Alice's vision came true. I stared at Bella, she had changed. Her doe eyes were dead, no life. I kept my arms around her.
"Bella I am really sorry I treated you like that in the past. I am really sorry, I am not just saying it because of this, I really mean it, I wanted to tell you so many times over the years but I never could find you and we had all promised Edward that we wouldn't interfere."
"Rosalie, I forgive you, I never really understood why you hated me but I stopped caring after you all left, I am glad we can make amends." I smiled at her. There was a little life in her eyes, a small spark of hope, a twinkle of light. I was so excited as I saw that. Bella was returning to herself. Natalie ran out also trying to give us time with Bella
Minutes later Alice hopped in. she bounced over to me. She came right up to my ear. And breathed one word, one name. "Edward."
I knew that she had escaped to call him. I knew that once she saw that Bella wasn't going to make it through this she had to contact him, he needed to be with her, it would most likely be that last time he saw her.
"Bella, what brought you two here?" Alice asked as she turned away from me.
"Well, I came here for school, I went to North Eastern, I had been living here for a year and a half when I learned about the cancer. I started treatment and I wouldn't leave. I fell in love with this world, the sun, the changing leaves, the snow, of course it made things harder for Natalie, but she would do anything for me."
"She must really love you, just like we do." I said as she blushed.
"When I first got sick she offered to change me, but I wouldn't let her." bella looked down as she said it.
"Why? I mean isn't it what you wanted?" I asked looking at her.
"Very much so, but I didn't want to be a vampire when she offered, it just reminded me of Edward. I still want to be a vampire."
"Bella that can still be arranged." Alice piped up.
"Alice being a vampire would be great, but an eternity without edward just isn't possible." She looked like she had never healed from when edward left her, just as he never had. I haven't seen him in over three years now.
After leaving Forks and Bella behind, none of us knew what he had said to her to get her to let him go. I think I could pinpoint an idea though. But I would be having aserious talk when I saw my brother next.
Seriously if what I think he said I will kill him, burn him, etc. if I lose Bella, because he said something that wasn't true I am going to murder him in cold blood.
I was looking at Bella in a whole new way. She was stronger than I thought possible. To survive all of this and still live. Natalie was her new angel. I just hope that we can bring back her old one.
